For those asking how the extremist forums/chats are looking 12 hours after the 1/6 hearings.

Users are aware the hearings broke through to "normies," but they're not worried about it.

Far-right extremist spaces have moved onto full-time anti-trans panic. It has consumed them.

For those asking how the extremist forums/chats are looking 12 hours after the 1/6 hearings.

Far-right extremist spaces have moved onto full-time anti-trans panic. It has consumed them.
Some Telegrams have just uploaded Tucker's show and pointed to him.

But they're still in that cognitive dissonance dance: was 1/6 a riot put on by the feds, or a regular protest by "J6 prisoners" who must be freed?

After 18 months, extremists comfortably live in that limbo.
The difference is now, fealty to Donald Trump isn't the primary goal of extremists anymore.

The culture war is now the main goal. The main target is the LGBTQ+ community, specifically trans people.

They simply want a fight, and are looking for whoever will start it fastest.

The 1/6 riots were planned on TheDonald. Users posted maps of the Capitol.

But the top post on TheDonald today is a DeSantis quote.

"You have to stand in that fire and you fight back."

Trump's face is everywhere, but he's not their world anymore—even on a site named after him.
